New Memorandum of Understanding between UNAOC and the Council of Europe

Strasbourg, 21 October 2022

The Council of Europe and the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations have signed a memorandum of understanding by which they commit to enhance their co-operation and develop joint activities in fields of common interest, such as the fight against all forms of intolerance and hate speech, education for democratic citizenship, youth, in particular youth participation in intercultural and interreligious dialogue, culture, the media with a view to promoting and protecting freedom of expression and information, migration, social cohesion and inclusive diversity management or sport.

The agreement was signed in Strasbourg by the Secretary General of the Council of Europe, Marija Pejčinović Burić, and the High Representative for the Alliance, Miguel Ángel Moratinos. This co-operation, which will allow the two organisations to exchange information and expertise, should contribute to the implementation of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
